PCV1H390MCL1GS

The PCV1H390MCL1GS is a chip-type conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s PCV series. It delivers 39 µF capacitance at 50 V in a surface-mount, radial can package designed for high ripple current and low ESR performance.

Engineered for demanding environments, this AEC-Q200-rated component supports operation from −55°C to +105°C and a rated endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C, making it suitable for automotive and other high-reliability power electronics applications.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 39 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C; polarized design for DC power applications.
• High Voltage Rating — 50 V rated voltage to support a range of intermediate-voltage power rails.
• Low Loss / Dissipation — tanδ 0.12 (DF) measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, 50 V for predictable AC behavior.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling — 34 mΩ ESR at 20°C/100 kHz, with 1.0 A ripple current at 120 Hz and 2.0 A ripple current at 100 kHz for robust filtering at both low and high frequencies.
• Leakage Current — 390 µA maximum leakage current after 2 minutes at rated voltage, 20°C.
• Long Life & Endurance — Endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C; capacitance, tanδ and ESR are specified limits after life test per the datasheet.
• Temperature Range — Operates from −55°C to +105°C with controlled impedance characteristics across temperature.
• Package & Assembly — φ8 × 12 L can-style SMD (L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm) with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing; designed for lead-free reflow soldering (peak conditions noted in the datasheet).
• Compliance — RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q200 rated for applications requiring qualification to that standard.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200-rated part suitable for control modules and electronic subsystems that require wide operating temperature and long-term endurance at elevated temperature.
• High-frequency Power Stages — Low ESR (34 mΩ at 100 kHz) and 2 A ripple rating at 100 kHz support decoupling and filtering in high-frequency converters and regulators.
• Power Rail Filtering — 39 µF capacitance and low leakage current provide stable DC smoothing and ripple suppression on intermediate and auxiliary power rails.

Unique Advantages

• Reliable High-temperature Endurance: Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C, delivering predictable performance over long duty cycles at elevated temperatures.
• High Ripple Capability at Multiple Frequencies: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz enable use across DC bus smoothing and high-speed switching applications.
• Low ESR for Efficient Filtering: 34 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces losses and improves transient response in power systems.
• AEC-Q200 Qualification: Meets the series’ AEC-Q200 rating for designs requiring automotive-grade component qualification.
• SMD Packaging with Taped Reel Supply: Chip-type radial can in embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing for automated surface-mount assembly and reliable handling.
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to RoHS requirements for environmentally regulated designs.
